Hello everyone, my name is Ross and I'm from Newmains, Scotland. I'm a Scottish RO on the Astra Owners Club and just now I drive a MK4 Astra (hence the user name) and an Opel Manta. I'm just looking for some advise as I've been offered a swap for my Manta for an M reg V6 Calibra. What do you all think? I think it sounds ok.

Is there anything I should be looking out for when I go to see it?

Any advise you can all give me would be deeply appreciated.

I'll stick some pics up of the Astra and Manta later if anyone wants to see them.

Cheers

Thanks for the welcome guys. I'll get some pics up shortly.

It's a 2.0 8V GTE Exclusive Hatch in Monaco Blue. It's in pretty good condition, just needs a bit of welding on the drivers side chassis leg.

I'd love a Manta, Keep it and try and get the Cally another way.
The Manta is worth more than any V6 Calibra.
